SECOND AMENDED AND
RESTATED LOAN SALE
AGREEMENT
THIS SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN SALE AGREEMENT (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), dated as of April 25, 2023 (the “Restatement Date”) is made, by and between CROSS RIVER BANK, a New Jersey state-chartered bank with its principal offices located at 885 Teaneck Road, Teaneck, New Jersey, 07666 (“Bank”), SUNLIGHT FINANCIAL LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, with its principal offices located at 101 N. Tryon Street, Suite 1000, Charlotte, North Carolina 28246 (“Sunlight”), and SUNLIGHT for itself or on behalf of any Purchaser executing a Purchaser Joinder Agreement hereunder and amends and restates the Amended and Restated Loan Sale Agreement amongst the parties hereto dated as of February 12, 2018.
WHEREAS, Bank and Sunlight have entered into a Loan Program Agreement, of even date herewith, establishing a program (the “Program”) pursuant to which Bank, originates loans to Borrowers with assistance from Sunlight in accordance with such Agreement; and
WHEREAS, Bank desires to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to purchase from Bank, specified loans (“Loans”) originated by Bank under the Program.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the terms, conditions and mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Bank, Sunlight and Purchaser each agree as follows:
Section 1. Definitions.
Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to such terms in Schedule 1. Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Loan Program Agreement.
Section 2. Purchase of Loans; Payment to Bank; Reporting to Bank.
(a) On each Closing Date with respect to a Loan Purchase Trigger Date, Bank hereby agrees to sell, assign, set-over, transfer, and otherwise convey to Purchaser, without recourse to Bank and with all servicing released, all Loans identified by Sunlight on the related Purchase Statement (“Subject Loans”). Each such sale of Subject Loans shall be governed by the procedures set forth in this Section 2. In consideration of Bank’s agreement to sell, transfer, assign, set-over, transfer and convey to Purchaser such Subject Loans, Purchaser agrees to purchase such Subject Loans from Bank, and Purchaser or Sunlight shall pay to Bank the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Subject Loans on the related Closing Date pursuant to subsection 2(b).
(b) On each Closing Date, Purchaser shall purchase the Loans funded by Bank that are included on the related Purchase Statement, which statement shall be provided by Sunlight to Bank and Purchaser no later than the first Business Day after the related Loan Purchase Trigger Date. Purchaser shall complete each purchase of Loans by depositing into the Funding Account by 3:00 pm Eastern Time on the Closing Date, by ACH, a sum equal to the aggregate Cash Purchase Price for such Subject Loans. Sunlight shall pay the Deferred Purchase Price on the Closing Date with the proceeds of Tranche 2 Loans under the Term Loan Agreement. Bank agrees to provide Purchaser with the account number and routing number for the Funding Account prior to the first Closing Date. Bank further agrees to execute all such instruments of transfer, UCC financing statements and other documentation as Sunlight shall reasonably require on behalf of Purchaser (or as an Other Purchaser shall reasonably require) to transfer the Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall purchase on the terms set forth in this Agreement all Non-Portfolio Loans that have been funded by Bank on or prior to the date on which this Agreement terminates, and all such Non-Portfolio Loans shall be deemed to have been identified on the related Purchase Statement, whether or not a Purchase Statement is in fact delivered.
2
(c) Anything herein or in the Loan Program Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, a purchase of Loans by any Other Purchaser made pursuant to the terms of an Other Loan Sale Agreement shall be deemed a purchase of Loans by Purchaser solely in the context of determining whether Purchaser has satisfied its obligations to purchase Loans hereunder or under the Loan Program Agreement.
Section 3. Ownership of Subject Loans.
Upon receipt by Bank of the Purchase Price for a Loan, Purchaser shall be the sole owner for all purposes (e.g., tax, accounting and legal) of each such Loan purchased from Bank as of such date. Bank agrees to make entries on its books and records to clearly indicate the sale of any Loan sold to Purchaser hereunder or sold to an Other Purchaser under an Other Loan Sale Agreement. Purchaser agrees that it will make entries on its books and records to clearly indicate the purchase of each Subject Loan purchased by it hereunder. It is expressly agreed and understood that Bank will not assume and shall not have any liability to Purchaser for the repayment of any portion or all of any Loan Proceeds, any Purchase Price or for the servicing of any Subject Loan sold to Purchaser hereunder after the related Closing Date.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of Subject Loans by Bank to Purchaser, as contemplated by this Agreement be, and be treated as, a sale by Bank to Purchaser. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be, or be deemed, a pledge of Subject Loans by Bank to Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of Purchaser. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Purchased Loans are held by a court to continue to be property of Bank then (a) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code, (b) the transfer of Loans provided for herein shall be deemed to be a grant by Bank to Purchaser of a security interest in all of Bank’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Loans and all amounts payable on such Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of such Loans into cash, instruments, securities or other property, to the extent Purchaser would otherwise be entitled to own such Loans and proceeds pursuant to this Agreement, (c) the possession by Purchaser, any of its assigns or an agent or custodian on behalf of Purchaser or any lender to Purchaser or any of its assigns and such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to Section 9-313 (or comparable provision) of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code, and (d) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Any assignment of the interest of Purchaser shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereby. Purchaser and Bank, shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Purchased Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law.

Section 4. Reserve Account.
(a) Sunlight has established a deposit account (the “Reserve Account”) in Sunlight’s name with Cross River Bank, (the “Reserve Account Bank”). Sunlight shall maintain the Reserve Account with the Reserve Account Bank, (or such other financial institution acceptable to Bank) during the Term of this Agreement. The Reserve Account shall at all times be subject to a Control Agreement.
(b) Sunlight shall at all times maintain funds in the Reserve Account at least equal to the Required Balance. In the event the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account is at any time less than the Required Balance, Sunlight shall, (i) within [TEXT REDACTED], notify Bank of such deficiency and (ii) within [TEXT REDACTED], deposit into the Reserve Account an amount equal to the difference between the Required Balance and the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account.
(c) To secure the timely payment of the Purchase Price for each Loan sold hereunder and all obligations owing by Sunlight or another Purchaser related thereto and the performance and observance of all the obligations and liabilities of Sunlight or another Purchaser incurred under this Agreement and the other Program Documents to which Sunlight and/or such other Purchaser is a party (collectively, the “Obligations”), Sunlight hereby conveys, assigns, transfers, pledges and grants a security interest unto Bank, in all right, title, interest, claims and demands of Sunlight, wherever located, whether now or hereafter existing, owned or acquired in, to or under the Reserve Account Property. In furtherance thereof, Sunlight agrees to take such measures as Bank may reasonably require to perfect or protect such first priority security interest. Bank shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under Applicable Laws in relation to the Reserve Account and the amounts at any time on deposit therein, and shall be entitled to exercise those rights and remedies in its discretion.
(d) Without limiting any other rights or remedies of Bank under this or any other Agreement, Bank shall have the right to withdraw amounts from the Reserve Account, upon delivery of notice to Sunlight regarding such withdrawal, to fulfill any payment obligation of Sunlight or another Purchaser under any of the Program Documents in respect of which payment obligation Sunlight or such Purchaser has failed to provide full and timely payment in accordance with the terms of such Program Document.
4
(e) Except as provided in this subsection (e), Sunlight shall not have any right to withdraw amounts from the Reserve Account during the term of this Agreement. In the event the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account at any time exceeds the Required Balance calculated for a particular Business Day, then, Sunlight, at its option, may provide to Bank a report setting forth the calculation of the Required Balance and the extent to which the funds on deposit in the Reserve Account at such time exceed the Required Balance and, within [TEXT REDACTED] following receipt by Bank of such report from Sunlight, Bank shall give any notice and take any further action necessary for Sunlight to transfer from the Reserve Account any amount held therein that exceeds the Required Balance as of the date of such report; provided that in the event that, as of such date of withdrawal, the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account is equal to, or less than, the Required Balance, Sunlight shall not make such withdrawal.
(f) Bank shall release to Sunlight any undisputed funds remaining in the Reserve Account [TEXT REDACTED] days after the later of (i) the termination of the Loan Program Agreement and (ii) the last date on which Sunlight (or any Purchaser) is obligated to purchase Loans pursuant hereto.

For tax returns with respect to Property Taxes, Purchaser will file or cause to be filed such Tax Returns. Bank shall cooperate with Purchaser in connection with the preparation of any such tax return to the extent such tax return relates to any Subject Loan during any time owned by Bank. Purchaser agrees to reimburse Bank, upon receipt by Purchaser from Bank of a written invoice, for any Transfer Taxes or Property Taxes relating to any Subject Loan purchased by Purchaser hereunder and paid by Bank.
(b) Each of Purchaser, Sunlight and Bank shall provide access, during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice to such Person, to any documentation regarding the Loans that may be required by any Regulatory Authority that supervises or has enforcement authority over such Person or any of the activities contemplated hereby, including but not limited to, the FDIC and other similar entities.
(c) Bank shall indemnify and hold Purchaser and Sunlight harmless from, and will reimburse Purchaser and Sunlight, as applicable, for, any and all out-of-pocket liabilities, losses, damages, deficiencies, claims, penalties, fines, costs or expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs in preparation for or at trial, on appeal or in bankruptcy (“Bank’s Indemnified Matters”) incurred by Purchaser or Sunlight, as applicable, to the extent that Bank’s Indemnified Matters result from any [TEXT REDACTED], or the [TEXT REDACTED]; provided, however, Bank shall not be required to indemnify (i) Purchaser for any such Bank’s Indemnified Matters to the extent resulting from [TEXT REDACTED] or (ii) Sunlight for any such Bank’s Indemnified Matters to the extent resulting from [TEXT REDACTED]. The indemnity obligations of Bank under this Section 9(c) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(d) Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Bank and Sunlight harmless from, and will reimburse Bank and Sunlight, as applicable, for, any and all out-of-pocket liabilities, losses, damages, deficiencies, claims, penalties, fines, costs or expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs in preparation for or at trial, on appeal or in bankruptcy (“Purchaser’s Indemnified Matters”) incurred by Bank or Sunlight, as applicable, to the extent that Purchaser’s Indemnified Matters result from any [TEXT REDACTED], or the [TEXT REDACTED]; provided, however, Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify (i) Bank for any such Purchaser’s Indemnified Matters to the extent resulting from [TEXT REDACTED] or (ii) Sunlight for any such Purchaser’s Indemnified Matters to the extent resulting from [TEXT REDACTED].

Purchaser represents and warrants that, in order to facilitate Bank’s assessment of Purchaser’s capacity to honor its indemnification obligations under this Agreement, it has provided Bank with accurate information related to its business activities, insurance coverage, and legal liabilities as have been requested by Bank. Furthermore, Purchaser agrees to promptly notify Bank of any event or occurrence that would reasonably be expected to impair Purchaser’s capacity to honor its indemnification obligations under this Agreement.
10
(e) Sunlight shall indemnify and hold each of Bank and Purchaser harmless from, and will reimburse both Bank and Purchaser, as applicable, for, any and all out-of-pocket liabilities, losses, damages, deficiencies, claims, penalties, fines, costs or expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs in preparation for or at trial, on appeal or in bankruptcy (“Sunlight’s Indemnified Matters”) incurred by Bank or Purchaser, as applicable, to the extent that Sunlight’s Indemnified Matters result from [TEXT REDACTED], or the [TEXT REDACTED]; provided, however, Sunlight shall not be required to indemnify (i) Bank for any such Sunlight’s Indemnified Matters resulting from [TEXT REDACTED] or (ii) Purchaser for any such Sunlight’s Indemnified Matters resulting from [TEXT REDACTED]. The indemnity obligations of Sunlight under this Section 9(e) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(f) Notice of Claims. In the event any Third Party Claim is made, any suit or action is commenced or any knowledge of a state of facts that, if not corrected, would give rise to a right of indemnification of a party hereunder (“Indemnified Party”) by the other party (“Indemnifying Party”) is received, the Indemnified Party will give notice to the Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable, but, in the case of lawsuit, in no event later than the time necessary to enable the Indemnifying Party to file a timely answer to the complaint. The Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party and its counsel and accountants at reasonable times and for reasonable periods, during normal business hours, all books and records of the Indemnified Party relating to any Third Party Claim for indemnification, and each party hereunder will render to the other such assistance as it may reasonably require of the other (at the expense of the party requesting assistance) in order to insure prompt and adequate defense of any suit, claim or proceeding based upon a state of facts which may give rise to a right of indemnification hereunder.
(g) Defense and Counsel. Subject to the terms hereof, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any suit, claim, action or proceeding. In the event that the Indemnifying Party elects to defend any suit, claim or proceeding, then the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party within ten (10) days of having been notified pursuant to this Section 10.1 that the Indemnifying Party elects to employ counsel and assume the defense of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding. The Indemnifying Party shall institute and maintain any such defense diligently and reasonably and shall keep the Indemnified Party fully advised of the status thereof. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel if the Indemnified Party so elects but the fees and expense of such counsel shall be at the Indemnified Party’s expense, unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party at the Indemnifying Party’s expense; (ii) such Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that the interests of such parties are conflicting such that it would be inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both parties or shall have reasonably concluded that the ability of the parties to prevail in the defense of any claim are improved if separate counsel represents the Indemnified Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party), and in either of such events such reasonable fees and expenses shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party; (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that it is necessary to institute separate litigation, whether in the same or another court, in order to defend the claims asserted against it; (iv) the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that the ability of the parties to prevail in the defense of any claim is materially improved if separate counsel represents the Indemnified Party; and (v) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to take charge of the defense of such action after electing to assume the defense thereof. In the event that the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of any suit, claim, action or proceeding, then the Indemnified Party shall do so and the Indemnifying Party shall pay for, or reimburse Indemnified Party, as the Indemnified Party shall elect, all Losses of the Indemnified Party.
11
(h) Settlement of Claims. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to compromise and settle any suit, claim or proceeding in the name of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not compromise or settle a suit, claim or proceeding (i) unless it indemnifies the Indemnified Party for all Losses arising out of or relating thereto and (ii) with respect to any suit, claim or proceeding which seeks any non-monetary relief, without the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld. The Indemnifying Party shall not be permitted to make any admission of guilt on behalf of the Indemnified Party. Any final judgment or decree entered on or in, any claim, suit or action which the Indemnifying Party did not assume the defense of in accordance herewith, shall be deemed to have been consented to by, and shall be binding upon, the Indemnifying Party as fully as if the Indemnifying Party had assumed the defense thereof and a final judgment or decree had been entered in such suit or action, or with regard to such claim, by a court of competent jurisdiction for the amount of such settlement, compromise, judgment or decree. The Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to any claims or rights of the Indemnified Party as against any other Persons with respect to any amount paid by the Indemnifying Party under this Section 9(h).
(i) Indemnification Payments. Amounts owing under Section 9 shall be paid promptly upon written demand for indemnification containing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to such Losses.
(j) In no event will any party be liable to any other party for any punitive, exemplary, indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, including lost profits or savings, damage to business reputation or loss of opportunity. This Agreement shall not create or be deemed to create or permit any personal liability or obligation on the part of any director, officer, employee, agent or shareholder of any party hereto.
12
(k) The Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in connection with the defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim that could give rise to a demand for indemnification hereunder.
